"Clean-out-the-fridge" Stir Fry

     We all have those fresh vegetables sitting in the bottom of the refrigerator just waiting to go bad.  Here's a quick and simple recipe to clean out the fridge.  After making this and getting the seal of approval, I now keep a jar of stir fry sauce in the fridge for days like these!

"Clean-out-the-fridge" Stir Fry
Ingredients:
1/4 cup of stir fry sauce (I use Kikkoman with no preservatives)
2 baked chicken breasts (Bake with salt and pepper.  Cut into strips or any bite-size pieces.)

2 cups of fresh vegetables (Here's where you clean the fridge!  I used baby carrots and asparagus.)
1 medium onion, diced
Tablespoon of Smart Balance butter spread
Teaspoon of minced garlic
Canola oil
Salt and pepper

Directions:
First bake your chicken if you haven't already.  They will need to rest in order for the meat to be nice and juicy.  I usually keep some cooked chicken in the fridge for recipes like these (or my Simple Chicken Salad).

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Chop vegetables into equal sized portions and place in a roasting pan.  Drizzle canola oil and sprinkle salt and pepper.  With clean hands, toss veggies around so that the oil coats everything.  This will help veggies to roast without burning to a crisp.  Roast for about 15-20 minutes.  When you start smelling them, they are done!  You want them to be fork tender but not mushy.

While these are working, begin the stir fry.  In a wok or deep skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium high.  Cook onion until translucent and fragrant.  Add garlic.  Add sliced chicken.  Remember that the chicken is already cooked, we're just looking to warm it through and get some of the great flavors into it.  Turn your stove down...again we don't want to burn anything, just keep it warm.

Carefully transfer roasted veggies into the wok or skillet.  These will be very hot!  Add stir fry sauce and make sure everything is combined thoroughly.  I usually cover this and let it sit on low heat for 5-10 minutes.  The longer it sits, the better it tastes in my opinion.

Serve over rice or by itself.  Enjoy!
